2. Basic operation

2.1 Power supply of fusion splicer

The power supply of this series fusion splicers adopts two-in-one power

supply design. The power supply modes are divided into external power

adapter or lithium battery, wherein the lithium battery power supply is

divided into built-in battery and independent removable battery. For the

correct and safe use of this series fusion splicers, the operator must use

the parts (power adapter, charger and lithium battery) provided by the

company and read carefully following operation manual.

2.1.1 Power supply of power adapter

①.The basic parameters of the exclusive AC/DC power supply adapter of the

fusion splicer produced by our company are as follows:

INPUT: AC100-240V ~ 1.8A 50 / 60HZ

OUTPUT: DC13.5V / 4.8A

● Use only AC adapter power cable supplied with the machine.

●The ground terminal of AC input power cable must be effectively

grounded.

●When using AC generator, the operator shall check regularly

whether it conforms to AC input requirements of the output voltage.

●Use only DC output power cable supplied with the adapter.

●Prohibit strictlyhandling AC power cable, adapter and fusion splicer

with wet hand,otherwise, an electrical shock may occur.

The power adapter is connected with this series fusion splicers in two ways

10

as follows.

②.One connecting way is shown in the figure below. After the power adapter

is connected to AC mains power, DC output power cable is connected to the

"POWER INPUT" of the power supply module of the fusion splicer, then the

fusion splicer is powered by the external power adapter.

2.2

Battery operation precautions:

Please use the battery in a normal environment. Battery charge and arc

and storage need strict environmental conditions:

Battery charging temperature: 0℃ ~ 40℃; Operating ambient temperature:

-20℃ ~ 60℃;

Storage ambient temperature: -5℃~ + 35℃; Relative humidity: 65 ± 20%

RH.

The battery shall keep away from heat, moisture, high pressure and high

electrostatic environment and so on during use, as well as collision and

knocking.

Battery charging is a complex chemical reaction process and the matching

charger shall be used only for safety. The attendant must be at site during

battery charging. More than five hours charging is prohibited.

When the battery will not be used for a long time, keep the battery with

half of full capacity. In the storage state, the battery shall be charged once

every 2-3 months.

The voltage and appearance of the battery should be checked once every 2

to 3 months and the battery shall have a thorough charge and arc once in

every six months.

19

For the battery delivered from the factory within one year, in case the

charging and discharging time is significantly shorter (only half the time of

normal use and shorter) or when there is obvious bulging, do not use the

battery immediately and return it to the factory for inspection and

maintenance.

The fusion splicer battery is a consumable item and has a safe service life.

Extended use after safe service life is strictly prohibited. Safe service life

means: The charge-arctimes in normal use are less than 300 times and the

storage period does not exceed one year (12 months).

2.3

Battery hazard warning:

It is strictly prohibited to dismantle the battery:

The battery inside is fitted with protective circuit, which can guarantee the

battery safety when used under normal environment. Improper disassembly

will damage the protective function of the battery, could cause short circuit in

the battery core and cause the instantaneous heat, combustion, and other

dangerous of the battery.

Battery short circuit is strictly prohibited.

In any case, do not short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the

battery, otherwise, once the battery core protection circuit fails, there will be

a large current, causing the battery heating up, smoking, firing and other

hazards.

Never heat up or incinerate battery.

20

Heating or incinerating battery will cause melting of the core spacer,

burning of electrolyte, and the risk of fire or explosion.

Avoid sunlight exposure or rain water

Sunlight exposure may cause the battery to generate high temperature and

rain water may cause battery short circuit and other fault, and cause easily the

fail of the protection functions.

No battery shall be submerged.

Battery pack is not waterproof. The battery submerged in water will make

the battery cells have abnormal chemical reaction, smoke, fire and other

hazards.

The dedicated charger shall be used and the battery shall be properly

charged.

Battery charging process is a special process of electric ions reactions. The

performance requirements of battery cell in charging are fully taken into

account in the design of the dedicated battery charger. The multiple

protecting functions can prevent the risk of heating up, burning and so on of

the battery in charging process. The battery shall be charged in accordance

with the correct way and charging for too long could pose a safety risk.

Do not contact directly with battery leak electrolyte.

The leaking electrolyte has certain corrosion. Once leakage occurs, do not

touch it directly with hand. If the battery fluid gets into the eyes, rinse

immediately the eyes with clear water. Do not rub the eyes. Go quickly to the

hospital for treatment. When the electrolyte leakage is found, take out the

battery quickly from the machine, so as to eliminate safety risks and avoid

21

also the machine corrosion.

The battery should be placed away from children.

The identification and control ability of the child is poor. The battery

★ This series fusion splicer heater temperature range is 100 ~

200 ℃ .In case the heater is damaged due to improper

operation, it is recommended to be careful in high temperature

heating above 190℃. Strictly prohibit non-stop heating for

more than 100 seconds at high temperature above 190℃, as

such action will burnout the heater.

3.4 [arc calibration] operation

The temperature, barometric pressure and humidity in the operating

environment are always changed. This series of fusion splicers are equipped

with temperature and barometric sensor. The amount of change in the

external environment can be transmitted in real time to the control system,

thus ensuring the arc intensity of the machine is always in a state of balance.

However, electrode wear and fiber debris bonding which may cause the

change of arc intensity, left or right offset of the arc centerand other abnormal

circumstances cannot be corrected by the fusion splicer sensor only, so the

operator shall adjust the arc to compensate the arc intensity, the offset of the

fiber splicing position relative to the arc center. The [arc calibration] function

can check the current arc intensity and correct the valut to the standard arc

intensity.

46

● A, B, C, D and E model fusion splicers have no "Real time

arc calibration" function. If the above model fusion splicer has

been stored for a long period or the operating environment is

changed greatly, in order to ensure the effectiveness of fusion

splicing, it is proposed "arc calibration" shall be checked

before the 1st fusion splicing.

Steps of arc calibration

A. Arc calibration is divided into two steps: "Arc correction step 1” and "Arc

correction step 2".

B.In the readiness window as shown in following figure, move the cursor to

[arc calibration] window and click

button to enter "arc calibration"

operation window.

C.Prepare qualified G652 single-mode fiber and put it into the splicer V

groove.

D.In "arc calibration" window, press

button.The arc calibration will start

automatically. The arc calibration starts from "arc calibration step 1".If "arc

47

calibration step 1" is "not finished", the machine will not enter "arc

calibration step 2". The operator is required to follow the prompts and

continue to prepare and put the fiber into the machine. The operation above

shall be repeated.

E.When "arc calibration step 1" is finished, "arc calibration step 2" is started

automatically. The operator shall prepare repeatedly the fiber and let the

splicer go into automatic arc calibration until the machine shows "arc

calibration step 2 is finished”as shown in following figure.

48

F. When "arc calibration step 2" is finished,it indicates one time of arc

calibration (Step 1, Step 2) is passed. When "arc calibration step 2 is

finished" has appeared for three times, the splicer exits automatically the arc

calibration window and returns to the readiness window.

● To ensure best splicing quality, we recommend strongly the

user repeats arc calibration until there are three times of arc

calibration are passed, i.e. the message of "arc calibration

step 2 is finished" has been appeared for three times. The

calibration of arc intensity and splicing position at this

moment has the best results.
